Maya Khan recently appeared as a guest on a comedy show on a private television channel, where she discussed various topics.
She revealed that her ex-husband had taken 5 million (50 lakh) rupees from her within the very first month; by the time she filed for *khula* (divorce initiated by the wife), there was only 200 rupees left in her account.
Maya shared that she began her journey anew with just those 200 rupees. She expressed gratitude, noting that the hardships she endured in life taught her a valuable lesson: if she could start over with only 200 rupees, she is capable of starting over from absolutely anywhere.
The actress stated that some men target women for marriage precisely because they are independent and have their own money. If a woman like her—who finds fulfillment in building and maintaining a home—chooses to focus on that, these men often ask, “Why aren’t you going back to work on TV?” But she might simply not want to; she may prefer to manage, decorate, and nurture a household. Such women do exist, yet they are often forced to work because their in-laws rely on their earnings.
Maya Ali added that while not all men are like this, some certainly are.
